Goodbye from Subject: Poker

Currently, Thomas Bakker and I are starting a poker security consulting company.1 As a result, I can no longer guarantee my independence as editor-in-chief. Subject: Poker‘s founding principle is independence, so it would be inappropriate for me to continue Subject: Poker.

The website will stay up with all articles intact for the foreseeable future, but it will naturally become a bit of a relic as time passes and no new articles are added. I hope that it will continue to prove a useful resource for the poker community.

Subject: Poker‘s farewell has been in the works for a while now. In particular, to avoid accepting money under false pretenses, we simply broke our donations link two weeks ago, and nobody has donated to us since. We will now restore the link. Our modest sum of unspent donations and any future donations to Subject: Poker will go to our various maintenance fees, with any surplus going (lovingly) to Diamond’s new site. If any of our donors do not agree with this decision, they can simply e-mail team@subjectpoker.com for a prompt refund (less PayPal’s transaction fees).

Subject: Poker‘s only payments have been for various maintenance fees, PACER bills, transport costs, and two company lunches. In particular, nobody has profited off of the site.

So, goodbye. We’ve enjoyed keeping the poker community informed for the past eight or nine months. Thanks for being a part of that. We hope Diamond Flush will be able to bring us some good news.

When I wrote about online poker’s need for an independent security and auditing firm, Noah SD was the first name which jumped into my head. Subject: Poker will be missed, but hopefully the poker world will benefit from your skills in other ways now.

Just seems that SP and DF have been very sympathetic and supportive of Tapie to date which is rather strange as you would think all the good and bad associated with Tapie and/or FTP was fiar game in the journalistic world and search for truth and reporting of facts.
